SPRING BREAKERS (2012)—Happiness is a Warm, Neon, Whisky-Coated Handgun
Manage episode 286709802 series 2841664
On this week’s deep dive, The Cultists Present Harmony Korine's controversial cult flick ‘Spring Breakers’ (2012). Booze, bikinis, pissing in the streets, temporal existentialism, Disney-girls-gone-wild, flirtation with French New Wave, Brechtian theater... this movie has a little bit of everything. The one thing this film doesn’t have is an audience consensus on what to do with it. Is this film—once described as a 'a sleaze-fest akin to Michael Mann on mescaline'—good? Bad? A shallow exploitation film? A masterpiece of cultural critique? A tasteless ultra-violent beach noir? Or a deeply emotion-driven love story about the purest kinds of love? The answer, it seems, is, “yes.”
